The Daily Mail reported that Aston Villa plans to renew his contract with his team player Morgan Rodgers in case other teams poached.
Morgan Rodgers performed well last season and Aston Villa is willing to improve his contract in the coming months. Last season, Morgan Rodgers contributed 14 goals and 15 assists in various competitions and was selected for England.
Aston Villa currently has no pressure to sell Morgan Rogers, and they have no intention of selling it at this stage, especially Morgan Rogers' current contract is still more than four years away. However, since Emery took over the team in 2022, the club has been willing to reward the outstanding performance of existing players, and during his coaching period, almost all core players received new contracts for increased salary. A new contract will also send signals to clubs that covet Morgan Rodgers: he occupies a central position in Villa's plans.
Morgan Rodgers joined Villa in January 2024. Villa coach Emery noticed him when analyzing his FA Cup rival Middlesbrough (the team Rodgers played for at the time). Emery believes that versatility is the most important trait in modern football, and Rodgers' ability to compete in multiple offensive positions impressed him. In Villa, Rogers played both wings and served in the No. 10 position.
At the same time, Villa also hopes to reach a new contract with our team's midfielder Kamala, whose current contract has expired in two years. Kamara in her health can be said to be the most important player under Emery. In the summer of 2022, Villa signed him from Marseille in a free transfer, which is still one of Villa's most wise transfer operations in recent years.
